Madness: Tales of Fear and Unreason

Our greatest fear is of losing control - of our lives, but, most of all, of ourselves. In these ten unsettling tales of unexpected madness master storyteller Roald Dahl explores what happens when we let go of our sanity. Among other stories, you'll meet the husband with a jealous fixation on the family cat, the landlady who wants her guests to stay forever, the man whose taste for pork leads him astray, and the wife with a pathological fear of being late.

Roald Dahl reveals even more about the darker side of human nature in seven other centenaries Cruelty, Lust, Deception, Innocence, Trickery, War, and Fear.
